Rice starch is a natural carbohydrate extracted from rice grains, composed of amylose and amylopectin. Its particles are among the smallest in nature, irregularly polygonal or spherical in shape, giving it a fine, smooth texture. As a white to off-white powder, it is odorless, tasteless, and highly compatible with skin, making it a popular natural ingredient in cosmetics. Derived through physical processing, it aligns with Clean Beauty and sustainability trends, often replacing synthetic powders or animal-derived components.
